SNAP STATE COST SHIFT

Every day, families across our communities work hard to put food on the table, care for loved ones and build stable futures. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) plays a critical role for many families who are working to bridge the gap during challenging times. 

Tell Congress: Give states time to strengthen SNAP without disrupting food assistance for families

FARM BILL-TEFAP + SNAP

Sustained high food prices are forcing families and individuals to change how they shop and what they eat. The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)—bridge the gap and help people regain stability in their lives.  

Tell your senators: Strengthen TEFAP + SNAP in the next farm bill to help people experiencing hunger everywhere.
